Let's go!

Hello everyone!

I am excited to share this journey with you, and hopefully give you a taste of what it will be like studying in London for 3 months! 

This has always been a dream of mine, and in roughly 48 hours I will be in the London (which I have come to learn is the largest city in Europe...WOW). I can't even imagine all the wonderful things this city has to offer. But I'll be sure to let you know as I find out! :)

So what classes will I be taking?

Charles Dickens' London...hands down the class I am MOST excited for.

British Life & Culture...this one is a close 2nd.

Islam & the West...really intrigued by this class.

Archaeology & the Ancient Near East...I used to want to be an archaeologist, so this will be fun! 

When I think about living in London for three months I get so overwhelmed just by that thought alone, it's difficult to list expectations I have. I mean, of course, I want to see Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, The British Museum, maybe/hopefully meet the royal family...but I also want to see the "life" part of the city. I want to drink tea, go to the park for an afternoon and get lost in a book, have a favorite place to eat, and interact with true Londoners. 

So I guess I just want to immerse myself in the city. And that's where I'll start for now!

Guess I better get started packing! :)
